What is the Spear Programme?

The award winning Spear Programme helps 16-24s facing barriers to work overcome the challenges they are facing to find and succeed in sustainable employment. The initial programme runs for six weeks, with a year of support for each candidate to ensure long-term success.

WHY BOURNEMOUTH

Spear Bournemouth was launched in March 2021, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim to support unemployed young people to overcome the barriers they face and find, and thrive, in work or education. The Spear Programme has been running for 20 years across the UK, and was created by, and is run in partnership with Resurgo Trust.

Since our launch, Spear Bournemouth has worked with more than 200 local young people, 75% of whom are in work or education one year after completing the foundation phase of the programme.
